Abstract
A liquid crystal device includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate at intervals with each other, and a liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and configured to include a vertical alignment liquid crystal. When the interval between the pixel electrodes adjacent to each other is s [μm], the thickness of the liquid crystal layer is d [μm] and the pretilt angle of the vertical alignment liquid crystal is θ[°], a relation equation −1.6×s/d+4.4≦θ≦−2.6×s/d+5.6 is satisfied.
